Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 21; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 24; Ryggkotor: 41. Diagnosis: Cryptomyrus ona is readily differentiated from its sole congener, C. ogoouensis, by the following characteristics: having an anal-fin origin located only just in advance of the dorsal fin, first dorsal ray above anal-fin ray 3 vs. first dorsal-fin ray above anal-fin ray 7; a deep caudal peduncle, 6.0-6.8% of standard length vs. 5.1%; and lobes of caudal fin markedly shorter than caudal peduncle, vs. nearly as long as peduncle (Ref. 113668).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
